Sometimes we feel out of balance. What if the only way to restore the harmony within is by connecting with other people? Some never stop trying gilding their ego and thus they remain isolated.

The protagonist in hey du. played and portrayed by artist Paula Godinez talks directly from her dark bedroom into her computer´s webcam. The work explores intimacy through the lens of vulnerability as a means of connection. Throughout the work we see the artist deconstruct vulnerability into notions of fear, learning, and change.

In the process of revisiting sites of trauma the artist reclaims canonical notions of vulnerability being associated to weakness and turns these notions into the source of the works agency. Godinez explores a context of direct intimacy that would not be possible without the introduction of technology into contemporary models of communication. The artist is physically separated from the viewer formulating a site of safety that allows the artist to communicate, to have a voice.

Or he himself who is unable to bridge the rift that seperates him from these surroundings - and who is perhaps "happily unhappy"? These are just a few of the questions that come up while we observe Blumfeld in a series of absurd situations in which he is confronted with the difficulties of dealing with closeness and distance. For example, balls are suddenly bouncing around in his apartment - and then a ghost appears. Based on texts by Franz Kafka.… >>>
